"Lilac Design Studio owner, Tracie, designed and styled all of the major living spaces in my home. I could not be more impressed with her innovation, style and attention to detail! She was pleasant to work with, attentive to my needs and incredibly professional. I would highly recommend her services! So happy!”

“My contractor recommended Tracie’s business to me, and it’s clear why: she is wonderful to work with! Tracie has a great eye, is knowledgeable of current design trends, and is more than adept at balancing her client’s vision with recommendations to ensure the final product looks as good as possible. If you’re looking for a skilled designer who is responsive throughout the project, a great communicator, and makes you feel like a true collaborator, Tracie is a fabulous choice. Highly recommend!” - Homeowner: Hopkins, MN

“We worked with Tracie for our complete basement finish and could not be happier with the results. We had never worked with a designer before, but the detail she put into the layout, function and finishings made the space perfect. We have had so many compliments on the different aspects of the rooms and we owe them all to Tracie and her vision. We would definitely recommend working with her and we will hopefully get to do so ourselves in the future.” - Homeowner: Saint Michael, MN

My husband and I debated if we wanted or needed to hire a designer to help us through the process. We had never used an interior designer before and were hesitant, thinking it would be way out of budget. After talking to several designers, we knew Tracie was the right fit.

We have 2 toddler children, so it was important to us that we build a home that was beautiful, while still being low maintenance and also safe for our kids. She took our lifestyle into consideration by choosing tile that wasn’t slippery, countertops that wouldn’t stain, and recommending rug and furniture protection.

In the end, we definitely saved money by working with Tracie. She was able to find affordable selections that fit our aesthetic, yet still looked expensive. She’s able to work with your existing furniture or art pieces and give them new life. She was very conscious of our budget and made many suggestions throughout the project to make the house flow and function better for our family.

She has an innate ability to understand and interpret your vision. It’s like she was able to reach into our heads and blend mine and my husband’s styles together to create something that is more spectacular than we had ever thought was possible. We are both so incredibly happy with the outcome. If you are able to stay with a friend or book a hotel for a couple days to let her work her magic, she will even install furniture, hang your art, style, and accessorize your home. If you always wanted a big “HGTV” reveal, then you will not regret hiring Tracie. She made the process fun! Whether you are looking to build a new house, remodel a kitchen, or just restyle your living room, Tracie will not disappoint!”

“We recently worked with Tracie on 2 projects. One was updating our previous home and the second was designing our new home. She helped us redesign the kitchen, 3 bathrooms, paint selections and flooring throughout the home. These selections got us to the price point on the sale of the home, to make our dream of a new home become reality. She also made the daunting task of deciding on all the finishes for our new home very comfortable. Everything she did for us and our new home was perfect. We couldn't be happier!”
